Hate thyself to love thyself.

A very religious person can say that the god is dead.
A very romantic person can say that romance is dead.
A person with strong moral values can say that the society is rotten.

Why would they say so?
To make the world better.
Will their skepticism make it better?
Yes.

This is something beyond most people's understanding.
And that's beautiful, isn't it?

Because that religious person would have to be deeply disillusioned to say so.
Because that romantic person would have to be hurt by truth to say so.

Sometimes, in order to be happy, we need to take that dark and gloomy knowledge of ours as a fact. We know it's not a fact - not really - but facts are cold and therefore unable to burn us.

Also, facts can be changed easily; unlike knowledge.
Pain and desperation are the greatest motivators if you can handle them.




(and I'm not advocating Nietzsche here)
